Style: Belgian Ale
Oostvleteren, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Pours a hazy medium orangish amber color. Aroma is lightly malty, hoppy, yeasty, with a touch of fruit. Flavor is a nice mixture of malts and fruits.

Zavaros narancssárga színe van és a tetején lévő közepes és krémes fehér hab elég gyorsan elillan. Illata grapefruitos,élesztős és kicsit szegfűs.Íze hasonlít egy éretlen sárgadinnyéhez,van benne a mandula zamatából és kesernyésségéből is.Érezni az élesztőt is,mintha egy kis kenyértésztába harapnánk.Közepesen testes és enyhén szénsavas,mégis van benne valami kis harapni valóság.Utóíze kesernyés és ázott rozskenyeres ami a végén teljesen kiszárítja a szájunkat és egy határozott citrusos érzést hagy maga után.Kellemes és érdekes itóka,elég frissítő és könnyen fogyasztható.

Bottle. Pours a very interesting sort of pinkish color with a decent white head that has okay retention and little lacing. Aroma is slightly funky, some vinous notes. Taste has some nice white zinfandel/vinous notes, some sweet crystal malt, raspberry tart, sour peaches. Very nice/refreshing.

taste better than it smells. bitternes is OK. good average ! nice brew but not a topper.

[2007 Bottle] Pours a clear amber color with a smallish soapy white head that sticks around a bit. Aroma is sweet caramel malts, some belgian yeast, candi-like sweetness, some light toastiness, and actually some vinous character as well. Flavor is quite sweet at first, moreso than I was expecting, but the mouthfeel is actually a bit thin. There are the typical toasty amber malts, slightly metallic, and not much of the caramel that I was smelling. Basically, it’s a standard amber ale with belgian yeast. For that reason, I like it better than most, but it’s still an amber ale. Nice and drinkable, not too thought provoking.

Bottle 2010-02-28, Göteborg AR: ants acid, yeast - bubbles over AP: grey clody beverage, wee white head F: yeast, high dryness, some undefined fruits, not so funny! Wonder were the picked up that name Rosse - no correlation to the color of the body anyhow!

33cl bottle. Hazy amber color with a small white head. Aroma is very malty with some nuts and yeast. Taste is malty with nuts and a dry light bitter aftertaste. Mouthfeel is to aqueous. Average brew.

UPDATED: JUN 6, 2010 Bottle 2008. Nice head on amber coloured liquid. Reminds me a lot of the beer ’hoegaarden’, except the colour ofcourse... but less strong taste. Not bad at all, but nothing special. A bit to watery for me, could use some more body. But very drinkeable.
